Series Thread: Rangers get a visit from celestial beings

That's tough if true

Sincerely pray it's not.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

They have plenty of money.

Would you want him back at a discounted rate?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Sincerely pray it's not.

That could explain lawyers being present if that was true as well.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That is ridiculous.

Elvis just dogging it now, bench him again

I don't know. He pissed me off so much with the way he quit on his team. We need a COF one way or another. He's a great player but with the baggage and he's hurt at the end of every year now, I would have to say no.....probably.

Not a good year for Elvis. Yes, let's load the bases again.

One thing to take your time but still use your same mechanics throwing the ball to 1st.

I felt the same way about his ending but the question is not easy to answer.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Thanks EA.

Somebody needs to tell that kid he isn't as good as he thinks he is.

 

[Justinkm83]

So every time you hit the ball into the RF corner it's a triple now? Our COFers are so bad defensively.

Needs to earn his job next year, same as the others.

Problem is you can't or they won't bench someone making as much money as EA will make next year.

 

[Justinkm83]

Telis just isn't ready. Offensively and especially defensively.

I still think Josh messed up even considering leaving here. He had it made here with all of the special accommodations that we made for him. I think if he had found a way to stay here that the Angels, the Rangers, and Josh would have all been better off. That may seem very far fetched, but I really think that would have been the case.

Seattle better turn it around, A's lost again and trying to give them second place.

It's the Vernon Wells conundrum- do you play a subpar player at the detriment to your own team because you were foolish enough to grossly overpay him, or do you just watch a huge chunk of payroll rot on the bench? I'm not saying Elvis is subpar or as bad as Vernon, but if he keeps regressing (or at least not developing), I could see a similar situation developing if Profar and Odor push him aside.

I'd give anything if the Yankees would take Elvis and his bloated carcass of a contract off our hands. $100 Million extra to spend would buy a nice pitcher for sure.

What you say may be true because he was better off here and the fans stuck with him until that 1 game playoff when they had enough of his 3 month or so look of I don't seem to care play. If Josh was willing to give it his all again things would have been fine. But he refused to believe any of the problems were on him. It was everyone else at fault. I know I would want him here if he played like the old Josh but not at the price the Angels are paying him.
